Good Listenin': Great Glass Elevator

Great Glass Elevator are a band out of Orange County that tend to draw immediate comparisons to Morrissey and Radiohead. They have a 4 song ep titled "Our Hands Turn Into Machines" up for free download here. Great Glass Elevator is appearing FREE tonight at Porter's Pub at UCSD. Opening for them are local boys, The Modlins. The show is expected to start around 7:30, so be there, have some beer, and enjoy some great free music. After, you can participate in the "Take Back The Night" march. Just don't forget to buy a parking permit. ($3ish at the info booth on Gilman)



"..Great Glass Elevator dispenses sophisticated pop songs, marrying its merry melodies with unexpected choruses and bridges, none of which is wasted on the trifles of playground love." - Kevin Bronson, L.A. Times

"Great Glass Elevator blend the driving, anthemic energy of punk guitar with maudlin Smiths-y melodies and lyrics." - Dallas Observer

"With some obvious influences - Morrissey and Radiohead are notable on the title track - and some that are buried deeper in the music, Great Glass Elevator crafts eclectic but understandable music." - MusicGeek.org
